As I was attempting to cross the street outside a friends' home in the USC Area,

a car screeched to a halt before almost hitting me- I was in shock for the next few minutes. The streets around the Adams area are often poorly lit, so the car driver probably did not see me. He had no business driving on residential streets at that speed. If my reflexes had not been quick, I would have surely been in the hospital, either severely injured or dead. I live- Thank you.
